(Redirected from Handles)

Handle is a term often used in various fields, including medicine, psychology, and sociology.

In a medical context, it can refer to how a patient, healthcare provider, or system manages a disease, condition, or situation.

Medical Context[edit | edit source]

In the field of medicine, the term "handle" is often used to describe how a patient, healthcare provider, or healthcare system manages a disease or condition. This can include everything from the initial diagnosis and treatment plan to ongoing care and management.

For example, a patient might be said to be "handling" their diabetes well if they are successfully managing their blood sugar levels, following their treatment plan, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Similarly, a healthcare provider might be said to be "handling" a patient's care if they are effectively coordinating and managing the patient's treatment.

Psychological Context[edit | edit source]

In psychology, the term "handle" is often used to describe how an individual copes with stress, trauma, or other challenging situations. This can include a wide range of coping mechanisms, from healthy strategies like exercise and meditation to unhealthy ones like substance abuse or self-harm.

For example, a psychologist might say that a patient is "handling" their anxiety well if they are using healthy coping strategies and managing their symptoms effectively.

Sociological Context[edit | edit source]

In sociology, the term "handle" can refer to how a society or group manages a particular issue or situation. This can include everything from social policies and programs to cultural norms and values.

For example, a sociologist might say that a society is "handling" poverty well if it has effective social programs in place to support low-income individuals and families.
